This years Spring Farm Machinery Show has been changed to a two day show. Whilst attendance figures were excellent last year, exhibitors have expressed there thoughts on making it a busy two day show rather than three. With this in mind veteran farm show promoters AJS have changed the dates to the 18th and 19th of January and all stands are truly sold out. All the leading tractor and machinery dealerships in the area have already booked their stands and are looking forward to good kick off for 2012. This show is an ideal opportunity for both farmers and contractors alike to view the latest innovations in the agricultural and associated industries all under one venue.
So if you want to know whats new in the farming industry, whether you are looking for the right equipment for the busy season ahead or just wish to browse and admire the huge range of machinery available then this show welcomes you. The following month continue reading…

Our annual Apple Day takes place this Sunday from 1 – 5pm. We will once again be joined by John McNamara of McNamara Nurseries, who has been growing trees since he was a sapling. He’ll be on hand to give advice on choosing and growing apples, and he’ll be bringing along some apples from his nursery for you to taste. We’ll also be joined by Ballyhoura Apple Farm who will be selling their delicious award-winning juices. If that’s not enough there’ll also be poultry for sale on the day(hens are the perfect partner for an orchard!) and apple specials in the Tea Room.
